The state’s Police Public Relations Officer(PPRO), SP Ramhan Nansel, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday April 1st.
According to the statement, the victims were abducted on March 30, 2025 from their residence during an attack at the Tudun Kauri area of Lafia.
Following this, the Commissioner of Police, Shetima Jauro Mohammed, ordered immediate action and swiftly mobilised operatives from the Anti-Kidnapping Unit and ‘A’ Division, Lafia, to track down the perpetrators.
